Join us for a captivating night celebrating Once Again (for the very first time), the 2023 hip-hop fantasia from visionary director Boaz Yakin, known for Fresh (1994) and Remember the Titans (2000). This electrifying film dives into the intense relationship between legendary street dancer DeRay and spoken-word poet Naima, exploring how love, recognition, and trauma can inspire or destroy. The evening kicks off with a filmmaker happy hour at 6pm, followed by a selection of short films from Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund Fellows, leading into the screening of Once Again. Stick around for an engaging Q&A with actor Mecca Verdell, director Boaz Yakin, and Oscar-winning producers Van Lathan and Nicholas Maye (Two Distant Strangers). Whether you're into bold storytelling or fresh, creative vibes, this is a night you won’t want to miss.

Back by popular demand after a smash success at the 2024 Maryland Film Festival that had audiences swaying and singing in their seats! “Luther: Never Too Much” explores the formative years of Luther Vandross’ musical career, back to the epicenter of Black culture, Harlem’s very own Apollo Theater. For Luther love is harmony, and perhaps most exquisitely and painfully (for what is the dark side of love but pain?) If only for one night – who hasn’t made this Faustian bargain? Willing to live a life of loneliness for one perfect night with one true love.

This is not your typical family drama. Making its Baltimore debut at the SNF Parkway, In The Summers delivers raw, unfiltered emotion as two siblings reconnect with their estranged father over the course of several summers.

Winner of Sundance’s top honors, it’s a visually stunning, slow-burn exploration of fractured family dynamics that will hit you where it hurts—but in the best way possible. Starring Puerto Rican rapper Residente of Calle 13 and up and coming trans actor Lio Mehiel (MUTT) among the remarkable ensemble cast.
